The EMTALA case, Moyle v. US, hasn't received as much attention as the mifepristone case, but it is huge. Not only implicates access to emergency medical procedures (like abortion in cases of miscarriage), but the broader question of federal law supremacy. supremecourt.gov
I got to talk about #Medicaid waiting lists and the need to address the Long-term Care before 9 AM Thank you @lisaling for highlighting the cost of #Caregiving and the massive need for #LongTermCare in this country #CareCantWait

The SCOTUS discussion of mental health exceptions for abortions is problematic for so many reasons, as I explain in my forthcoming paper.
The SCOTUS discussion of mental health exceptions for abortions is problematic for so many reasons, as I explain in my forthcoming paper.
This discussion of physical versus mental health is ridiculous and offensive. The ongoing distinction is dangerous and unnecessary. Health is health, whether physical or mental.
Essential reading. Judy Singer did not originate the concept of neurodiveristy, nor did she coin the term. She is, however, a virulent transphobe. (Warning for some disgusting examples of that in the article.) #neurodiversity 19thnews.org/2024/04/neurod…
Happy #EarthDay! It's important to remember that the original Earth Day in 1970 was predominantly led by students who were inspired to engage in nonviolent civil disobedience by the civil rights movement and anti-war protestors.

I’m all in for “well-rested activism” @maria_m_town
I’m all in for “well-rested activism” @maria_m_town
It feels like everyone is talking about “mental health” and “mental illness” and featuring asylums in their music videos and no one is acknowledging violence against mad people or even listening to us.
Oh yes! Alabama launch of REV UP, an initiative to help people with disabilities become engaged politically & improve access to voting. REV UP stands for “Register, Educate, Vote, Use your Power.” Alabama is 20th state to adopt campaign sponsored by @AAPD. al.com/news/2024/04/d…
1000% this!!!!! Activism requires mind, body, and spirit. All of which need and deserve rest and re-energizing. There is no such thing as tireless activism.

AMEN SISTER! Couldn't have said it ANY BETTER!
I do not like the phrase “tireless activism.” I am tired. Activism is tiring. The phrase “tireless activism” promotes the idea that good, effective activism requires burnout and constant sacrifice. Give me “well-rested activism.”
Listen to @maria_m_town. This is huge!
